Marketers represent the latest version of the Accord model, as the most successful for all the time of its stay in the market. In fairness, it should be noted that the previous versions of this development used demand in the domestic market. True, in Europe, Accord did not go so successfully, apparently, by the fact that today economical compacts or practical station wagons are especially popular there, and Accord, with its explosive character, is not suitable for any of these categories.
But this car is very respected in North America, not without reason he headed all sales ratings for a very long time. The audience saw the first model in 1976, by the way, it was repeatedly marked by the prestigious title of “Car of the Year”.
3 advantages of the car accompanied such a high success, it practically did not break, and if this happened, was inexpensive in the repair, besides, the cost was quite appropriate.
Because the Japanese model was globally focused on the US market, its own concept has developed over the years. The faceted lines of the body have long been gone, it is flowing and aerodynamic.
What has undergone the greatest changes is the salon. It is as comfortable as possible, a lot of free space, but there are also disadvantages. The plastic is still hard, you can even see the plastic components of the finish, and glossy inserts clearly “fall out” from the overall picture. In general, this is not inherent in the premium class. There are many pockets in the cabin, niches for storing various little things.
The engine starts with pressing the button. There are displays on the front panel, not 1, but as many as 2. The first is responsible for the projection of information about the technical condition of the machine, the algorithm for the operation of its systems and options, as well as navigation. The second display is installed by state, only in the “top” version, it is combined with the multimedia system. Both displays with excellent graphics and functionality, in addition, now there are fewer different buttons in the cabin, so it has become stricter to look more. Joystick regulating multimedia is installed on the central console, on the right side of the display. There are many electronic assistants in the car, for example, a “dead zones” controller. The company decided not to put the indicators in the mirrors, but entrusted the process of tracking the built -in chamber. It is worth turning on the turning signal, as the picture will immediately be displayed on the display of what is happening behind the car.
In one of the cars supplied to our country, a gasoline ICE (2.4) is installed in the engine compartment, which operates in the company with an automatic checkpoint (5). Engine power 180 forces. Of the advantages – it is easier than the previous one, complies with environmental standards, and fuel saves well, costs no more than 10 liters.
Modernized the suspension. The transverse sports levers on the front axle refused, now Mcphereson is installed here. The car became softer and comfortable, but slightly lost in dynamics and maneuverability. In general, the drivers did not like this refinement.
In different countries of the world, new versions of this sedan were always supplied in various performance, including the body, therefore, sometimes, they were completely unlike. The latest generation of the car is global, and is available in the only body solution.
The new car has become more comfortable, a modernized V6 ICE appeared in it, but its price tag, is unlikely to inspire potential buyers, and besides, the new version has unimportant ergonomics, therefore, another restyling awaits the car ahead.
